Tried this place on vacation in NYC. Cute little shop with great coffee, fast service, and the baristas are all super nice!

This coffee shop has the friendliest barista you will ever encounter! pleasant tone voice, polite and just exudes kindness! this was a lovely start of the visit. aside from that, we had very delicious coffee. Hubster's oatmilk latte was perfect. Im also not a "fruity" syrup lover but their White Chocolate Raspberry latte special was a nice treat! Inside has a nice cozy seating with both regular tables and bar chairs by the window. There are also a few seatings outdoors. love that we got a free drink when we brought a box of their coffee beans! thank you for the wonderful visit. read more

The cortado was tasty but cold. Pretty sure nobody wants a cold cortado. The service was good.

The coffee was pretty good. A single shot was still strong. The almond croissant was huge and lots of filling. Service was good and very nice. read more

Decent quality espresso shots and house-made syrups, went with an iced americano with two pumps vanilla. Smaller storefront with a few tables, did not see restroom on site. The staff were friendly and efficient. The vibe feels like a writer's desk: simple, focused, and a nice place to pause for a coffee, work, or connect. read more

Cute neighborhood spot with delicious coffee. The pastries are nice too! Good for a coffee date or to sip solo. Very friendly service.

The service and atmosphere were excellent, but the coffee leaned a bit bitter for my taste--and they don't offer heavy cream. read more

Visited Black Press while I was on vacation and it was my favorite coffee shop on my trip. The baristas were so friendly and I loved the vibe. The coffee shop is also a short walk away from Central Park and I ended up taking my coffee for a stroll. Their merch is also really cute and high quality as well! I love the tote I bought -- it was the last one in stock. Looking forward to coming back next time! read more

This was one of my fav coffee shops during my trip to Manhattan. We were heading to Central Park but wanted to grab coffee first so we found Black Press Coffee. I wanted a caramel macchiato but they couldn't make it so he recommended a caramel latte which was absolutely delicious. I ordered it with oat milk so there was a nutty flavor to it but the coffee was so smooth and not overly sweet. I also got the cream cheese pastry. I would've thought this was a bakery shop because the pastry was so flaky and airy. One of the best pastries I've had in a while. They have limited indoor seating and some outdoor seating. It's a dog-friendly location! Service is definitely top notch & also their tote bags are so affordable and such good quality!! read more

We love this place. Such as great coffee and also the amazing cherry scone is great. Nice place to sit and talk.

Visited Black Press on the UWS again this past weekend after a couple of months away and again was blown away by the immaculate service by Drew (one of the Baristas). He made a perfect quad shot latte without an overpowering bitter coffee taste and even chatted with me about their syrup options (all made in house!). Again, I'm so glad to have had such an amazing experience at Black Press - I'll be sure to come back. read more

My family and I are thrilled with Black Press. The staff are ALL so welcoming, kind and create very memorable flavors! Thank you!

Excellent Tumeric Latte..., however I asked for * NO FOAM * twice.., still got Foam.

The guys here are very nice and if you ask with a smile they will make your drink just the way you like it ! The food, prices and Ambiance also are Steller ! read more

Tiny coffee shop with limited seating inside and two tables outside. Super cute spot! And it moves. Came in on a rainy day and it was packed. Tried the salted caramel and pumpkin spice latte. Both were delicious! Coffee is smooth and syrup is not overwhelmingly seat, you can still taste the coffee. Definitely Manhattan prices which isn't odd. On a slow day I can picture people on laptops but it is a tiny space overall. Cute decor. read more

Friend is a coffee snob so if they recommend this for coffee then I will too. I had matcha so I'm not sure if this makes this review illegitimate but the matcha was pretty good. Not watered down and actually tasted like matcha. I did add some sweetener which made it hit the spot. I did have it twice lol. No bathrooms so note that. Cute outdoor (and a few indoor seating). If you can snag a spot outside I think that's what really elevates it. Inside can get quite crowded due to the line. read more

How hard is it to make a bad cup of simple drip coffee? I guess Black Press Coffee's answer is, 'Don't worry, we've got it covered!' I don't know if their secret is using substandard beans, not using enough grounds, or some other trick. But the result speaks for itself. Don't drink BPC, it's simply bad read more

I decided to stop by a coffee shop before my walk in Central Park. They make amazing coffee! Prices are a bit above average, and it's always crowded. I ordered a cappuccino--it was fantastic and gave me such a boost. Thanks! Though they could really expand their pastry selection. read more

Black Press Coffee - The menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Came here during the holidays because we heard good things about their espresso based drinks, so very grateful that they still kept the lights on even when other cafes were closed. Because of this, there was an influx of customers swarmed outside and inside the cafe, thus they had a sign that they were out of chai and oat milk, which I thought was very odd since the latter is an integral ingredient at a coffee establishment that serves anything other than cold brew. We ordered a cold brew and peppermint mocha soy latte-the peppermint was strong and present with the soy milk being okay. read more

We were looking for coffee to start day and heard Black Press was pretty good. Coffee was decent - not the best we've ever had, but certainly not the worst. Croissants were pretty good. Seating both inside and outside, and they had a lovely outdoor seating area. Staff were kind and efficient. A solid choice for a coffee stop. read more

Please do yourself a favor and get their everything seasoning croissant. That croissant itself makes me want to constantly come back to this coffee shop! But ask for it toasted! Came here trying to warm up after spending a day in the snow, and I wanted something savory for my breakfast so I chose the everything croissant on accident. First bite in, I fell in love and I asked my friend if she wanted a bite. She took a bite and went to go buy herself one as well. It's that good! The latte was really good and the design was so pretty! It was a little more strong for my taste, but still taste really good. Highly recommend the croissant! Even if you don't like coffee just come here to get the croissant! read more

Wonderful little coffee shop! We stumbled upon it while walking around and they had some seasonal flavoring. I opted for a decaf rose latte which was absolutely amazing! I got oatmeal get my husband got a chai with oatmeal. It was delicious! We also got a chocolate almond croissant warmed up and it was yummy. The place was cute and clean, I just wish that they had a restroom for patrons. The barista was very kind and helpful! read more

A solid coffee and espresso spot on Manhattan's Upper West Side on the corner of 73rd and Columbus, Black Press Coffee doesn't need much of an introduction. Due to Covid, no seating inside - but don't let that take away from your experience. Baristas are friendly, and know what they're doing. Espresso by Brooklyn's Parlor Coffee roasters. And not to mention some decadent pastries to beat. I really enjoyed the tahini chocolate chip cookies from The Good Batch. And yes, they've got oat milk and all of the regular other alternative milks, too. Even when I walked in 5-10 minutes prior to closing, they hadn't shut down the espresso machine yet and was ready to serve. read more

I ordered a large decaf oat milk latte and it was delicious. The cafe was also really nicely decorated and the person making my coffee was really sweet. My sister, my cousin, and I didn't stay long, but we really enjoyed the visit. They ordered some pastries to go. We even saw a state senator who was enjoying his coffee at one of the tables. This is a great go-to coffee joint. read more

Loved my iced orange cardamom latte!!! They've always had really good homemade syrups. Cost $6.75. Very popular place on this Saturday morning so took awhile to get my drink. The staff is very friendly and they're dog friendly! read more

Came here today and was hoping to get the iced rose latte, but immediately started getting interesting vibes when I walked in. Would be almost $7-$8 for an iced rose latte with oat milk. Thoughts racing, I immediately backtracked and decided to test them with a cold brew with regular milk. Unfortunately, the cold brew was majorly flat and basic especially when there are other competitors in the area. The workers were nice, but the drinks don't seem to be my thing. I want to stop by to try the iced rose latte when I feel generous in taking a hit because I am worried the drink won't be up to standards/quality for the price point. read more

I came to do some work on my laptop. The matcha was really good and very strong. The chocolate croissant was also really yummy, definitely recommend both. Wifi didn't work at all. I ended up using my hotspot, which was a little annoying. It's also super busy here. Everyone comes to either do work or chat with their friends. I came on a Friday at 11am. Not sure if I would come back to do work here, but if I need a quit caffeine hit, I'd come here and take a stroll in the park. But it's a little overhyped. read more

CASE In POINT EDIT: the 3 reviews directly most recently below me are all people from California per their profile. Oy vey. $4 for a cup of coffee that costs $2.75 down the block at Muffins Cafe same size. And you don't have to wait in line for 10-15 minutes. And they do the milk for you without giving you half the cup empty" "for room" This place always gets a crowd and it's just strange. No New Yorkers actually are in New York City. Sad. Waiting in line for coffee. Too funny. Baristas are cool and hip, good at touching the iPad screen. read more

I went here to meet up with a friend. Small coffee shop with cute vibes. She paid for my drink so i'm not sure what the pricing is. Chai latte was decent, and we got oat milk instead of regular dairy. There is minimal seating inside and it seems like there is patio/sidewalk seating as well, but it was cold so no one was outside. No bathrooms inside that we could use to my knowledge. Service was friendly and fast! read more

Went at around 3:30pm and they were all out of pastries. The drip coffee was ok (on the sour side) and $3.75. There was very little sitting room inside, but it's 5ish minutes from the AC subway station by Central Park. read more

Food: Ordered two black iced coffees from here with my friend for the first time! A very simple cup of coffee that was well executed. Definitely enjoyed our quick pick-me up for the morning and had nothing to complain about! Cost: I found the cost of the coffee to be reasonably priced, especially in New York! Environment: It seemed to be more of a pick-up and go type of place- no seatings inside. The place had a minimalistic style approach to it and it was very clean and well organized inside. Service: This place definitely can get busy and even though there was a bit of a line, our order was taken promptly and our drinks were made without too much of a wait! Uniqueness: If you're looking for some nice classic, well made coffee- would highly recommend stopping by this place and picking up a cup! read more

I always enjoy visiting local coffee shops, as opposed to going to the chain ones. One, the coffee tastes better. Two, the staff is usually pretty welcoming and usually not rushing. So I feel like they take their time to make my coffee extra special. Thus was no exception. I loved every drop of this coffee. I will definitely continue to support local coffee shops. And would love to return here the next time I'm in NYC. read more

Black Press Coffee on the UES is a new little gem that I have recently discovered. On the outside, this coffee fixture gave me a corporate impression that I usually try to stray away from, but I was completely wrong! Upon walking in, I encountered a friendly, inviting atmosphere as the barista at the register donned an inviting smile and answered my questions with patience. Black Press has a unique, modern appeal which keeps me coming back. The music isn't too loud which is another plus if you want to read or study here. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had the tumeric latte on the menu, as I've been meaning to get one for a while. However, I ended up getting an oatmilk latte w. cinnamon, which was smoothe and delicious. I'm excited to come back here for more delicious coffee and reading. Check out this UES location!! :) read more

Nice local coffee shop in UWS - love the aesthetic here and the iced lattes are fantastic (there are also some fun seasonal ones to try!). There's a few benches and small tables outside, where I noticed several customers reading and doing work. Would recommend for a good cup of joe. Also, I love that the latte cups come with strawless lids - there are straws available if you really want, but the "You don't need a straw" sign made me laugh. Kudos to Black Press Coffee for encouraging customers to be more eco-friendly! read more
